For MKVs and most other formats it works OK with my BDP8000. I cannot change chapter or jumt to time but ff/rw works (albeit only up to 4x).
For .avi it plays but freezes every now and then. That does not happen with my older Netgear media player.

I have no complaints about music, photos and film format support, only the DLNA implentation of .avi, that could be a lot better. The unit plays .avi perfectly when I use a USB HDD, so it is not a matter of encoder/file problems.

My NAS runs TwonkyMedia Server, but I do not remember what version. It is DLNA 1.5 certified, but that really says nothing as such a certificate does not state for exactly what formats it can handle (same goes for the BDP/NetTV range).

I'm trying to get rid of hard drives lying around. So working with a lacie networkspace2 NAS with twonky server.
+ image quality
+ FF and sometimes RW
- No resume / jump time
- FF too slow, need it a lot because of the lack of resume
- sometimes a video hangs every minute for +/- 5 seconds (when using the player from my tv it doesn''t happen)

Yepp. They are invisible on my home network (so I can't stream ). From USB they work perfectly. SW v1.50 and (my hope!) upgraded to v1.54 gave the same result. Friend of my with a Synology NAS tried to stream my example .mkv at his home with the same bdp5180/12 SWv1.50. There it showed progress on the bdp display, but the screen stayed tuned on blue screen, showing nothing.

Just a bit of re-cap, if i remember correctly zwartji you are using bdp3200 and then your friend has a bdp5180, and rollufje, you have a bdp8150 (which in Philips website I cannot quite find this product.)

So what I think is similar to that of rollufje, it is the MKV cannot be decoded using WMP/ Windows mediastreamer in your PC. And through streaming, the player won't process the files, unlike using USB. That's why it cannot be played... Guess we'll have to find some suitable streamer...

O o typo blurs. In this 5180 topic. To wrap up correctly.
Zwartij has a 5180/12 and tried to stream from pc with Windows7 Mediastreamer. .mkv is not showing
Friend has also a 5180/12 trying from Synology NAS. .mkv shows in the folder but doesn't show on the screen
(we used the same .mkv)
Friend has also a Samsung BDP and from the same Synology NAS ... it works perfectly together
